perfect weather to fly

I've been meaning to draw this view for so long. Well, ever since I saw that there was an Everyday Matters challenge called 'draw the view from a window of your house'. It seems an appropriate time to finally get around to it. Before the reassuring view of Jo and Nick's house is no longer part of my everyday life.

Everyday Matters #18, the view from my window. See the rest of my Everyday Matters set HERE.

What a lovely view. This drawing is lovely. What I particularly love is the linear frame of the window and the cat - it draws the eye into the view more. Really lovely. Glad you were able to draw the view before you moved. Hope that's all going well.

Ps You wouldn't believe the kind of things which were going through my mind when I saw a comment further up from a Pippa. First I thought that I was going mad and that I had commenting before looking at the drawing. Then I thought that someone was pretending to be me! No, just someone with the same name. Panic over.

Jo, I'm so glad you like it. I was going to tell you about it, but you get here before I could! I shall miss the view. Oh, and if you click on the link for my Everyday Matters set, you can see your house right next to Ged's guitar.

What a wonderful drawing a design, Andrea. The cat's negative shape draws your eyes to the subject and the casually drawn window holds it all together. This would make a great serigraph; have you ever thought about doing a print of this?

I'm actually kind of sad for you that you have to move. I feel like we're a part of that house too from seeing your house from various angles in your drawing. I love when you use different colored pens like this! Adds to the bitter sweetness.
